Professional Bee Identification & Nest Advice in Lancashire
Bees can be worrying when they appear around a home, garden, roof space, chimney, wall cavity or business premises. However, not every bee sighting needs pest control treatment, and in many cases the safest option may be to leave the bees alone or seek specialist beekeeping advice.
Wallace Pest Control can help identify whether you are dealing with bees, wasps, hornets or another flying insect. Correct identification is important because the right advice depends on the species, nest location, level of activity and any risk to people nearby.
Where possible, bees should be protected and left undisturbed. If the nest location is causing a genuine safety concern, we can assess the situation and recommend the most suitable next step.
If you are unsure whether you have bees or wasps, call Wallace Pest Control on 07496 680879 or complete the enquiry form.

Honeybee Removal and Swarm Collection
Honeybees are an important part of the environment, so they should be handled carefully and only removed where there is a suitable reason to do so.
Wallace Pest Control has experience working with honeybees and maintains apiaries in Accrington, Pendle and Burnley. Where appropriate, we can advise on honeybee swarms and help connect customers with the most suitable next step.
A honeybee swarm can look alarming, especially when a large number of bees gather on a tree, fence, wall or building. In many cases, a swarm is temporary while the bees look for a new home.
If you are unsure whether you have honeybees, wasps or another flying insect, contact Wallace Pest Control for advice before attempting to disturb the nest or swarm yourself.
What Is a Honeybee Swarm?
A honeybee swarm is a natural part of how a colony reproduces. When a colony becomes crowded, a new queen may develop and the original queen can leave the hive with a large group of worker bees to look for a new home.
Swarming can look dramatic because hundreds or thousands of bees may gather together on a tree, fence, wall, shed, chimney or other structure. In many cases, the swarm is temporary while scout bees search for a suitable new nesting place.
Sometimes bees may choose a location that causes concern, such as a roof space, chimney, cavity wall, outbuilding, garden structure or another area close to people.
If you find a swarm, do not try to disturb it yourself. Keep children and pets away from the area and contact Wallace Pest Control for advice. We can help identify whether you are dealing with honeybees, wasps or another flying insect, and recommend the most suitable next step.
For more complex bee removals, we may recommend or work alongside suitable tradespeople or beekeeping contacts where required.
Honeybee Swarm Collection
We do not provide a free swarm collection service. However, if you have a honeybee swarm, we can advise on the most suitable next step and may be able to point you towards local beekeeping support.
You can also find help through the British Beekeepers Association swarm removal service.
Bumblebees
In spring and summer, we often receive calls from people who think they have found a wasp nest, when the activity is actually a bumblebee colony.
Bumblebees are important pollinators and are usually best left alone where they are not causing a safety concern. Their nests are temporary and will naturally decline at the end of the season. They do not usually reuse the same nest the following year.
If you are unsure whether you have bumblebees, honeybees, wasps or another flying insect, contact Wallace Pest Control for identification and advice before disturbing the nest.
